This extension cord for a Type 2 EV charger is designed for a three-phase 480V AC system at 16A with a maximum power output of 11kW. This is a charging cable extension, not the actual charging cable that you would plug directly into your charging station and your vehicle. The cable has an IEC 62196 male plug on one end and a female socket on the other. This is meant to add length to your existing setup, not replace your primary charging cable altogether.
This distinction is important for anyone whose charging cable at the station doesn’t reach their parking spot, or for travelers using public charging stations across Europe, where the station's cable doesn't quite reach the vehicle’s parking spot. This EV charger extension cable is compatible with all Type 2 EVs and plug-in hybrids, so you don’t need a different solution for every charging network or station configuration you encounter on your journey.
At 10 meters, this extension cable provides considerably more reach than a standalone charging cable generally does, making it useful in properties where charging stations are installed some distance from where a vehicle is parked, or for public charging points with awkward layouts that don’t always match up with where a car needs to sit.
Such a mismatch between charger location and parking position is more common than most drivers expect, particularly at older public charging installations. For drivers who have been frustrated by a charging cable that is not long enough to reach the vehicle, this EV charger extension cable removes that frustration by extending the existing setup, rather than requiring them to move the charger or parking spot, which is often not even possible at a public station.
This cable is 6-core, with 5 x 2.5 mm2 wires and 1 x 0.5 mm2 wire, wrapped in a TPU outer cover made from fire-resistant materials. This fire-resistant construction provides a meaningful safety margin for a cable that is routinely exposed to outdoor conditions and carries substantial electrical current during normal operation, often for extended charging periods of several hours.
This Type 2 EV charger extension cable features high-grade copper conductors and rugged PC and ABS housing components for long-lasting strength, withstanding repeated everyday use without the cable degrading from normal handling or environmental exposure. That combination of fire-resistant outer materials and solid internal construction makes for a cable that’s designed to handle real-world conditions rather than just controlled testing environments. And that counts for a lot more when the cable is out in actual daily use.
The extension cable is IP65 waterproof, so it's quite well protected from rain and dust when used outdoors, though not quite as robust as the IP66 rating of some other charging cables in similar categories. That level of protection still covers the vast majority of everyday weather conditions a charging cable would realistically face in normal outdoor use.
The cable is rated for -30°C to 50°C (-22°F to 122°F), protecting from extreme cold and heat while still ensuring safety and performance. Whether you’re charging in the middle of a winter storm or a summer heat wave, this Type 2 EV charger extension cable is built to perform year-round, in all weather, without needing to bring it inside or stop charging.
The male IEC 62196 plug connects to the existing charging station's cable, and the female socket at the other end accepts the standard Type 2 vehicle connector, effectively placing this extension cable in the charging chain without affecting the existing setup. What makes this product unique, and the main reason that this cable can be used as an extension and not a replacement, is the plug and socket design.
The connector housing provides an ergonomic grip, so plugging and unplugging are smooth and effortless, even with repeated daily use. For anyone using this type 2 EV charger extension cable regularly, that thoughtful grip design reduces the friction of a task that could otherwise become an annoying daily chore, especially in cold weather, when stiff or awkward connectors are difficult to work with while wearing gloves.
This extension cable is easy to handle and store at 7.94 lbs (3.6 kg) for a full 10 meters. The kit includes a carrying bag for tidy storage, a cleaning cloth to keep the connectors dust-free, and a cable tie for cord management, giving you everything you need to keep the cable in order and ready for its next use without buying additional accessories.
This Type 2 EV charger extension cable is perfect for drivers who often use public charging stations with limited cable length, or for homeowners whose charging point is farther from their parking spot than ideal. Instead of buying a separate accessory afterward, you get a complete solution ready to use. It is suitable for occasional use on the road or as a permanent addition to expand a home charging setup. It is designed to withstand the typical outdoor use that you would expect of this type of equipment over the months and years of ownership.
